Inspire is a basic ally-targeted shield - can be cast on self, ally champions and allied minions/pets (basically anything you can use Janna or Lulu's shield on). Defiance will give the basic Inspire shield to whomever she targets, then additionally radiates out the bonus shield to nearby allied champions - what this means is whoever you use Defiance on will get Base + Bonus shield, and allies in range will only get Bonus. I hope that makes it clear!

This really puts me at ease. Does it mean she still has the incredibly OP shield and damage since other allies in the AoE only get a fraction of it? Is the damage value still the exact same as the shield value or is it completely different?
The surprise half-of-your-health-bar nukes/shields were just such an awesome element of her kit and I hope it isn't too utility oriented now (like Orianna's shield, which while pretty strong is nothing compared to Karma's current E in both shield value and damage)

I'm going to miss Karma's healing power. Now she can only heal herself :/

It would have made sense, if they wanted her to be able to heal allys, for the spirit bond to be able to be attached to allies and have it heal them somehow. Though TBH, having both a heal and a shield is a bit dangerous for a support, and they now gave her cc, so it's even more so.
